Good handwashing technique is paramount to infection prevention. Most adults would likely say they know how to wash their hands; after all, it\u2019s something they\u2019ve been doing since childhood. Many might be surprised, however, to find out how much residue can be left on their skin after a routine washing. And though it can feel awkward to think about having to learn how to wash your hands\u2014especially as an adult\u2014doing so can make a world of difference in preventing the spread of germs.<\/p>\n

\"Handwashing\"
\n<\/a>GlitterBug Gel<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>GlitterBug Potion<\/span><\/a> are excellent products to aid in teaching proper hand hygiene to kids and adults alike. Both are intended to show how effective your current hand-cleaning methods are, and in turn, both products teach better techniques for hand-washing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If both products do the same thing, what are the differences between the two? And which do you need? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A main difference can be found in the name of the products. <\/span>GlitterBug Gel<\/span><\/a> is just that: a gel. It is not a sanitizer and won\u2019t kill germs, but it feels like a sanitizer. <\/span>GlitterBug<\/span> Potion<\/span><\/a> is a hand lotion with a special UV fluorescent powder mixed in to show which part of your hands need a little more cleaning. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which product you need depends on how you\u2019re cleaning your hands. If you mainly use hand sanitizer, you should use <\/span>GlitterBug Gel<\/span>. If you usually wash with soap and water, <\/span>GlitterBug Potion<\/span> is for you. <\/span>
\nWhichever way you wash your hands, a refresher on how you\u2019re doing is a great way to learn how to be better in preventing the spread of germs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
